It was good to be in class again after 5 days of vacation and gluttony. Jerad's focus of the night was on backmount, which I didn't realize with how we started. We began with one of the Judo takedowns where you bear hug their waste and then do like a one legged squat to trip their back leg (not sure of the Japanese name). From there we did a takedown kind of like pulling guard from behind by kicking behind their legs and sitting down.
From there we went through several chokes and the armbar. Mostly a basic back mount class with the gi. We finished with a couple of partner backmount drills. I went with Fuji and Matt.
Unfortunately My toe was bugging me so I decided to skip open mat last night.
Highlights of last Wednesday early morning open mat with David, Fuji, Robert, Bauer, and Greg. I rolled with Fuji, David and Robert. I got tapped out by all three. Greg and David worked on some De La Riva stuff to back mount. David and Bauer were in a weird position and Bauer said something like 1..2..3..go and went up in the air and tweaked his neck pretty bad.
the judo takedown was tawnatoshi( i spelled it how it's pronounced. it stands for valley drop. are you going to be there this Wednesday? i got some to holds i want to try out on you.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'll be there as long as David comes and opens the dojo up.
ReplyDeleteVery funny with the toe holds.
